LePage breaks with Trump on Iran, tariffs and immigration
Original: LePage breaks with Trump on Iran, Canada tariffs, immigration in Maine House debate
Former Maine governor Paul LePage, now running for the state's House seat, publicly split with President Trump during a debate, disagreeing on Iran policy, tariffs on Canada and immigration. The breaks are notable because LePage has been one of Trump's closest allies in New England, and the remarks signal an effort to distance himself from the administration on key issues as the race heats up.
Why now: A longtime Trump ally publicly diverging from the president in a competitive House race is politically significant.
